I always have to remind myself that isolation can be a good thing. It’s during times of isolation where I can truly take a dive into the depths of my mind. But I also have to embrace my thoughts—good or bad—to find the fruits of isolation. Do you thrive when you’re alone or do you rely on the presence of others? Can you really accomplish all of your goals by yourself? How many people are you going to meet and never see again? I’m noticing that the older I get, the more transient I become. I don’t like staying in one place for too long, and there’s just so much to see. •

Right now, I feel like I’m transitioning through my life in segments—and I can’t bring my mental and emotional anchors from the previous segment into the next. New people enter my life and exit all too soon, familiar places become more different every day, and I grow separately from a lot of the things I thought I’d hold on to forever. And as I become more and more accustomed to leaving things behind, it gets harder and harder for me to make real commitments to anything beyond myself. I’m laser-focused, and it’s taking a toll. I’ve been isolated, but maybe for too long. •

The hike up Koko Head is short, steep and pretty hard on the legs. @aerials.ana and I started the trail just as the sun started going down.
We had an amazing view at our backs the entire time, which was fortunate because we took several mini breaks throughout the climb, both to admire the amazing sunset and to catch our breath.
The trail it self is an old rail track that the army built to haul equipment to the bunker above. It goes up in a straight line with an ever increasing incline. In good old army fashion, it has no detour, no distractions it goes from point A to point B in the most direct route possible.
It makes for a pretty challenging climb. The rail ties make for very uneven steps, with plenty of opportunities for a misstep or a twisted ankle if one’s not careful enough.
Challenging as it may be, we did see some people just casually jogging up the hill like if it was nothing. One dude even did it in flip flops, hopping from beam to beam like if he knew the steps by heart. I can only imagine he did. And I sure envy his fitness.
After getting to the top, we were treated with a gorgeous view of the whole region. The sun was already gone behind the horizon and only its glow, reflected in the ocean, illuminated the island below us. We took out our rain jackets to shield us from the blasting winds and set up to take pictures as night fell down around us.

This was the moment myself and @leo_eiven reached Dawson City after a couple of weeks of paddling the Yukon river together in 2017.
.
The greatest thing about this journey is that it came about by pure chance: I met Leo after he'd crashed into a moose on the Cassiar highway where, I had been minding my own business cycling north towards Alaska. We were both looking for an adventure partner and forged a plan right there and then.
.
We are now great friends and have many ideas for future adventures! If nothing else, it highlights the beauty of spontaneity!

This view could not get better! I first climbed the Petit Piton back in 2014, and have since come back every second year. Its almost become a tradition to climb it when I am here🙈 So far this is the most challenging hike I have ever done, and I think that’s why it’s my favorite so far🙌🏼

Took a crazy road heading down Palomar today called the Nate Harrison Grade Rd. Kinda sketchy doing it when the sun is going down. 🥶 But kinda wanna do it again when the light is just perfect. 👌🏻

Take a look at that beauty of a reflection! There is something so beautiful about finding something so still
Who else loves reflections on lakes?
